Just returned from Solden. It is DEFINITLY the liveliest resort I have ever been to. Great for Party animals ! The mountain is mostly for cruisers, but there is off piste for those who know their way around. Be careful where you reside, as some hotels are below bars that stay open till the wee hours. If you want to sleep, request a quiet room away from the street as the party crowd is noisy . Also, hard to find non smoking areas

Just got back from Solden and absolutely loved it. We were a bit concerned about the amount of skiing to start with as the area is stated as having 150km of piste. We Normally ski in areas with a minimum of 300km but if I did not know the size of the area then I would never have guessed. There are 3 main peaks and 2 glaciers and once you are right in the thick of it all the area seem huge. Everyone in our party opted to pay the extra 10 Euros for the upgrade on teh lift pass to get a days skiing in Obergurgl and it was well worth it. It opened up an extra 100km of piste and was well worth visiting for a ski away day as it only takes 15 mins on the free local bus. Definitely worth doing to break the week up.
Another top tip is to check out the Solden Aqua dome. It is not actually in Solden (technically it is in the little village next door) but it is amazing. The spa facilities are some of the best that I have ever experienced and it is open late so you can go after skiing and sit in the thermal pools surrounded by snow under a star light sky.
The nightlife is Solden was fantastic, loads of bars and late night venues to choose from. Cooke bar at the bottom of the Gigi gondola was always lively for an apres ski drink. I definitely would not hesitate to go back to Solden.
